We had a brilliant time yesterday at Devon Chamber of Commerce's first Digital Devon event at the Riviera Centre in Torquay.
It was great to connect with local business leaders and hear how organisations across Devon are using technology to improve efficiency, drive growth and create new opportunities.
One of our biggest takeaways from the day was how businesses can use AI practically, safely and intuitively to improve efficiency without losing the personal human touch that so many customers value.
With fewer than 20% of Devon businesses currently reported to be actively using AI, compared with much higher adoption rates nationally, there is a clear opportunity for businesses across the county to explore how AI can support growth, efficiency and innovation.
Our very own COO, Mick Savage, was interviewed by the BBC during the event to share his insights on digital growth and what it means for the future of businesses across the South West. It's well worth a read:

Thank you to everyone who came along and to the Devon Chamber of Commerce for allowing us to be part of such an important conversation.
